Important Information

We can spend up to 6 hours a day in the saddle and you will need to feel confident about keeping up with the group, capable of riding at all paces, rising to the trot and controlling your horse at the canter so we cannot take beginners. Riders should be aged 12 years and over and anyone over 60 needs to be riding fit and strong. There is a maximum weight limit of 15 stone, 210lbs or 95kgs. Over this, you will need to enquire, but only if you are an advanced rider. It will be at our discretion whether novice riders will be permitted to ride, taking into consideration their safety and enjoyment and that of the group as a whole.

 

You must be able to ride to one of the following competence levels:

 

Experienced

Confident at all paces on almost any horse.

 

Intermediate

Ridden for a number of years. Able to control fit horses at all paces.

 

Competent

Able to control a sensible/quiet horse at all paces and feel confident on such a horse. You should be balanced in the saddle and able to rise/post to the trot.

 

We reserve the right to prevent any client from riding if we feel they do not fulfil any of the competence levels detailed above. If you are not riding regularly we strongly recommend that you get in practice before joining us.

 

Many insurance companies will not insure your holiday unless you are wearing a hard hat or safety helmet whilst in the saddle. It is your responsibility to provide your own properly fitted hard hat or safety helmet. We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for head injuries sustained as a result of ignoring this advice.

 

You must be insured to ride with us - please ensure your policy covers you for horse riding and includes medical evacuation and medical aid.

 

You must be fully aware and understand that there are risks involved when around horses, and in riding generally. For these reasons you will be required to sign an indemnity form before you ride confirming that you do so entirely at your own risk.

 

Please download and complete the riding experience questionnaire and return it to us with your booking form.
